  • Experience working in an academic or industrial research environment.
  • Proficient in an ML framework such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • Excellent communication skills and an ability to drive clarity in ambiguous circumstances.
  • Track record of strong industrial research, including delivery of complex projects or publications in top-tier venues.

Responsibilities

  • Build and adapt modern generative models based on diffusion and auto-regressive technologies.
  • Stay updated with the latest AI research to apply impactful developments.
  • Pioneer proprietary, experimental ideas designed specifically for Apple's unique ecosystem.
  • Work with web-scale datasets and distributed training of foundation models.
  • Collaborate with team members to advance and ship state-of-the-art technology.
